Fishing off the coast of Iturup
We invite you to go fishing. On the coast of Iturup, we have chances to catch cod, sea bass, but usually the main purpose of the outing is halibut. The average weight of the fish is 50 kg, but there are also individual specimens weighing more than 100 kg. This adventure is available from May to September - at this time the sea is calmer, but, of course, we always coordinate plans with weather conditions.
Fishing by boat (maximum two passengers):

- in the ocean - 50 thousand rubles

Climbing the Baransky volcano
Climbing the volcano, despite its seemingly kilometer-high altitude, is not an easy and safe route. We climb by car to a height of 350 meters, and then begins a not very difficult ascent to the fumarole fields along the path to a height of 700 meters. Then the difficulties begin, as the ascent is carried out along the crumbled crater, where we go and climb over the rocks, that is, at a steep angle. Therefore, this route is intended for those who are athletic, but even for them it will not seem like an easy walk. In good weather, you can see the northern and southern parts of the island, but the view is very impressive - volcanoes, sea and ocean will open up in front of us. Then a descent and a trip to the springs, where those who wish can swim in the "Boiling" river or in vats on 2 black rivers. This route takes a whole day.
You should take tracking shoes, gloves, sunscreen and mosquito spray with you.
The cost is 45 thousand rubles for a company of up to 4 people.

Tornaya Bay, Sopochnoye Lake
We drive to this place, passing the White Rocks. Therefore, we recommend including this excursion on the day of visiting the White Rocks. We will leave the borders of the tour that is common on the island and go in a northerly direction, where there are no villages, but there were not small ones before. We will also drive along the old runway, preserved after the Japanese, we will see the pier that they used. But the most important thing is that bears often walk along this route, and the view is stunning of the "4 brothers" Kekurs.
The cost of this direction is 15 thousand rubles from a company of up to 4 people, if we go on the day of visiting the White Rocks.
If on a separate day, then 45 thousand rubles from a company of up to 4 people.

The Bay of Hikers
Do you want to visit a place where there have not been many more? And are you ready to make an effort for this?
In fact, this is not an easy route, but it is very, very beautiful. Imagine that you are sitting on the ocean shore, and if you add here that you are in a dug-out pit of sand, which is filled with warm water from the sources of the earth, and on the other side are white rocks! This is definitely not a story for mass tourism, because after such a pleasure you will have to climb back to the cape, 180 meters high, where in some places there are stones under the grass. But what can you do, this place remains so impregnable, but so wonderful!
Trekking shoes, gloves, sunscreen and mosquito spray will be required for the hike. You will also need to take fresh water and, possibly, a small shovel with you.
The cost of this route is 35 thousand rubles with a company of up to 4 people.

Boat trip to the Dragon's Eye
Yes, it is the Dragon's Eye! Until recently, this wonderful cape did not have such a name, but a group of guys and I, almost pioneers of this location, called it that. And for good reason, because the whole cape looks like the scales of a dragon, and this scale also turned out to be an "eye" - an almost perfectly round hole. Bomb views, energy place. This is also a favorite place on the island!!!
Along the way, you can also see the fantastic slopes of the volcanoes Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Chirip. Well, where are the seals without a rookery? They often wait for us and look at us with curiosity!) The place of entry into the sea may depend on the direction of the wind. The duration of the route is 4-5 hours. We can add an excursion to the Baransky volcano to this walk - the time is just right.
You should take a windproof jacket and sunscreen with you.
The cost of a boat trip is 42 thousand rubles per boat.
6 people can comfortably sit in the boat.

Sea trip to the south of the island and ascent to the Atsonupuri volcano
Lion's Mouth Bay, Atsonupuri volcano - the transition is difficult and takes 5 hours in one direction, but for those who want to conquer Atsonupuri volcano, there is nowhere to go, since there is no road. Climbing is very difficult, if only because there is no fresh water nearby, it will need to be carried with you. Climbing on the "pebbles", which means that the foot falls 5 cm into the ground, and the climb is steep! But again, the view is amazing - this is the south of the island, it's a completely different nature than in the center and north of the island! In good weather, you can see both Kunashir and the island of Hokkaido! Such a route is mandatory with an overnight stay, since it can take 12 hours to hike to the top of the volcano. This is a route for very sophisticated travelers, and of course sports-trained!
Also, if the sea allows, you will be taken to the Lion's Mouth Bay, this is part of an extinct, destroyed by an eruption of an underwater volcano, where on one side there is a rock in the shape of a lion.
The cost of such a tour is 100 thousand rubles for a company of up to 4 people.
You can also go back and forth by boat during the day, as it goes faster.
The cost is 150 thousand rubles for a company of up to 5 people.

We cannot predict the vagaries of the weather, so the route can be adjusted on the spot, for security purposes at locations. The final decision will be made by the guide, based on the current situation.
And, of course, we remember that nature does not have bad weather, so we deviate from the route only in critical situations.
The nature of Iturup is beautiful in any weather and at any time of the year!

Tours are usually held between the end of May and the end of October, as this season is considered the most suitable for travel. However, there are also tours in winter when there is enough snow. In winter, we deliver groups on snowmobiles to the volcano.
We carry tourists on our routes on SUVs. This is usually the 80th or 100th land cruiser prado or Nissan Safari. These reliable old men are ideal and flawlessly reliable for driving on the unpaved roads of the island, and the guides of "Kuriltur" keep them in excellent technical condition. True, not every car has air conditioning, but in our weather conditions it is almost never needed.
The spacious cabin comfortably accommodates four passengers, there is always drinking water with them.
